A Story from the Bush – Now Available to Collect
Dear Collector,
If you are searching for original Australian landscape art that captures the spirit of the outback, I am pleased to share that my newest work, A Story from the Bush, is now available for sale.
This original Australian landscape painting was created in my Mount Isa studio and is inspired by the vast, resilient country of North West Queensland and the Northern Territory — landscapes that shaped both my childhood and my artistic practice.
There is a particular kind of quiet that exists in the Australian bush. It is not complete silence — there is always wind moving through dry grass, distant bird calls, the subtle shift of heat across open ground — yet beneath it lies a deep stillness. It is this stillness, this sense of expansive space and enduring strength, that I have sought to capture in this outback landscape painting.
The Inspiration Behind This Australian Bush Painting
Growing up on remote cattle stations gave me an intimate understanding of the land. The red earth, the endless horizons, the softened blue of distant ranges — these were not occasional views, but daily surroundings. Over time, they formed the visual language that continues to guide my work as an Australian landscape artist.
In A Story from the Bush, I have focused on atmosphere as much as geography. The composition draws the eye toward the horizon, creating depth and openness. Warm earth tones in the foreground reflect sunlit soil, while cooler hues recede into distant hills, suggesting scale and distance.
The light within the painting hints at a transitional hour — perhaps late afternoon, when the intensity of the day begins to soften. It is a fleeting moment, yet timeless. This balance of warmth and shadow gives the work both strength and calm.
Collectors seeking authentic Australian bush artwork often tell me they are drawn to this sense of space — the breathing room within the composition. It is a quality unique to the Australian interior.
An Original Australian Painting – One of a Kind
This is not a print or reproduction. It is a one-of-a-kind original Australian landscape painting, created entirely by hand using professional, archival-quality materials.
Each brushstroke was applied in my Mount Isa studio, overlooking the very terrain that continues to inspire my work. I use museum-grade canvas and high-quality oil paints to ensure longevity, so that the colour integrity and structural stability of the painting will endure for generations.
There is only one A Story from the Bush. Once sold, it will not be recreated in this form.
For collectors looking to buy original Australian art directly from the artist, this offers both authenticity and provenance. Purchasing directly ensures a personal connection to the story behind the work and confidence in its origin.
Why Collect Original Australian Landscape Art?
Original landscape art holds a presence that cannot be replicated. It carries the energy of its creation — the considered layering of paint, the intuitive decisions, the hours spent refining light and tone.
Unlike decorative artwork, an original outback painting evolves within its environment. Subtle textures emerge in changing light. Depth reveals itself gradually. The work anchors a room, bringing warmth, scale and a sense of grounded calm.
Collectors of Australian landscape paintings often value:
– Authentic depictions of the Australian bush
– Art created from lived experience in regional Australia
– Timeless natural palettes that complement both contemporary and traditional interiors
– Investment pieces that retain artistic and emotional value
This painting reflects the resilience, openness and quiet strength of the Australian interior — qualities that resonate deeply with those who know the land, and equally with those who feel drawn to it.

The outback is not simply subject matter; it is memory, heritage and identity. That lived connection informs every composition I create.
For collectors seeking Australian landscape art created by an artist with genuine regional roots, this authenticity is central to the value of the work.
